Laos and Thailand Perhaps?

Laos and Thailand are neighboring countries of Cambodia. For months now, I have been dreaming to travel in Laos and Thailand. The valleys of Laos fascinate me a lot and the temples of Thailand struck me as always.

I have been working in Cambodia for one and a half year now and it is really embarrassing to admit that I had never been to Angkor Wat.

As Cambodia will be celebrating the Khmer New Year on April, if God will permit, I would love to travel by bus in Siem Reap and see Angkor Wat, go to Bangkok and see the Grand Palace and of course take photos on Laos natural wonders.

I have one and a half month left to prepare. I will try to make a list of things I need to be sure I am ready for the trip.

1) North Face backpack - :p bought one today :D
2) Digicam - need to stick on my loaf bread and margarine to save LOL.
3) Black Slippers for comfortable walking.
4) Bus Ticket - last time it was $16 from Phnom Penh to Bangkok.
5) Money - I travel not for shopping but better to be ready.
6) Lonely planet travel guides and maps.
7) My own itinerary as I won't have money to splurge in tour packages.

Whew! God please please please...let me do this...
